T504 Omni Antenna Coverage
The T504 (ordering part number 975-T504-US31) includes internal 5GHz and
2.4GHz omnidirectional antennas, and is equipped with a DOCSIS 3.0 cable
modem.
The T504s are best deployed where internal-antenna lateral beamforming can
provide the greatest reach and throughput to a wide coverage area, and provide
the greatest distance between APs in a connecting device. See Figure 3 for internal-
antenna coverage patterns.

Powering Options
T504 Strand Mount Concurrent AP with Integrated CM Installation Guide, 800-70610-001 Rev A 13
Powering Options
The T504 supports AC power over cable (POC). 40 to 90 VAC POC is used when
the T504 is mounted on a cable strand and powered via an F-type coaxial cable
connected to the HFC cable plant.
Performing a Site Survey
Perform a site survey to determine the optimal T504 placement for maximum range,
coverage, and network performance. Ruckus Wireless Support can supply Site
Survey best practices information.
The location and orientation that you choose for the T504 play a critical role in the
performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends
installing the T504 away from obstructions and sources of interference and ensuring
that the AP’s best coverage zone is pointing in the general direction of its wireless
clients or associated bridge units as described in T504 Omni Antenna Coverage.
When performing a site survey, consider the following factors:
•Data rates: Range is generally inversely proportional to data rates. The maximum
radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. Higher data rates are
generally achieved at closer distances.
•Antenna type and placement: Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in
maximizing radio range. As a general rule, radio range is increased by mounting
the radio higher off of the ground with the AP oriented so that the dome is tilted
down. (For recommended orientation examples, refer to T504 Omni Antenna
Coverage.)
•Physical environment: Clear or open areas provide better radio range than
crowded or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater
the wireless range.
•Obstructions, building materials, and sources of interference: Physical obstruc-
tions, such as concrete pillars, steel beams, buildings and trees, can block or
hinder wireless communication. Avoid installing the T504 in an environment
where there is an obstruction between sending and receiving devices. A number
of machines and electronic devices that emit radio waves – cranes, wireless
phones, microwave ovens, satellite dishes – interfere with and block wireless
signals. Building materials used in construction also influence radio signal
penetration. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than
concrete blocks.

Planning the T504 Installation
Performing a Site Survey
T504 Strand Mount Concurrent AP with Integrated CM Installation Guide, 800-70610-001 Rev A 14
•Mounting: The T504 is designed to clamp onto a 1/4” to 3/8” (6.35mm to 10mm)
support wire. The hangers allow a 2” bundle of cables between the support wire
and the T504.
•Power and backhaul connections: The T504 needs a backhaul connection to
the CMTS and it needs to be close enough to an AC power inserter on the CATV
cable to assure that it is able to pull 20 watts at greater than 40 VAC. If not, then
another power inserter must be installed closer to the T504.
When you are done planning the T504 installation, continue with Installing the T504.

T504 Strand Mount Concurrent AP with Integrated CM Installation Guide, 800-70610-001 Rev A 21
Deploying the T504
In this section, you will mount the T504 in its final mounting location. Perform the
following:
•Mounting the T504
•Earth Grounding the T504
•Installing the Cable Power Tap
•Powering the T504 with POC
•Checking the Signal Level with an RF Power Meter (Optional)
•Configuring the T504 for the First Time (Optional)
Mounting the T504
To mount the T504 assembly on a cable strand, you need to secure the cable
clamps that are attached to the strand interface to the cable strand.
1Slightly loosen the nuts that fasten the two cable clamps to the strand interface,
enough for the strand support cable to fit into the cable clamps.
2Place the cable clamps on the strand support cable.
3Tighten the two cable clamp nuts to 22 to 27 N.m (16 to 20 ft-lbs) to secure the
mounting.
You have mounted the T504. Continue with Earth Grounding the T504.
Earth Grounding the T504
The cable strand is usually earth-grounded, and mounting the T504 on the cable
strand earth grounds the T504 chassis as well; if this is the case, skip this procedure
and continue with Installing the Cable Power Tap.
CAUTION! Be sure that earth grounding is available and that it meets local and
national electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and
lightning arrestors.
.
If the cable strand is not earth-grounded, then continue with the following:
1The color coding of ground wires varies by region. Before completing this step,
check your local wiring standards for guidance.
2Using the factory-supplied ground screw and washers, use the factory-supplied
earth ground wire with ring terminal to connect a good earth ground to the T504
using the chassis ground screw shown in Figure 4.

T504 Strand Mount Concurrent AP with Integrated CM Installation Guide, 800-70610-001 Rev A 22
CAUTION! The T504 includes one 12mm stainless steel M6x1 earth ground screw
with split lock and flat washers. Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer
than 12mm. If a screw is longer than 12mm, it can damage the T504 chassis.
.
You have earth-grounded the T504. Continue with Installing the Cable Power Tap.
Installing the Cable Power Tap
The CATV coaxial cable used in the field deployment must have 40 to 90 VAC power
multiplexed with the RF signal on the coaxial cable, since the T504 Connector B is
used for both electrical power and the RF signal.
Ruckus Wireless recommends installing a cable power tap (Antronix MGT2000-
SDPE tap, or equivalent) close to the T504. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
to mount the cable power tap on the coaxial cable. Figure 6 shows a typical cable
power tap and connection to the CM using an RG6 quad shield cable.
Figure 6. Cable Power Tap Connection to the T504 Cable Modem
Continue with Powering the T504 with POC.
Powering the T504 with POC
40 to 90 VAC POC is used when the T504 is mounted on a cable strand and
powered via an F-type coaxial cable connected to the HFC cable plant.

2Insert the F-type coaxial cable that is connected to the HFC cable plant to the
F-type connector on the T504. Power is supplied through a power passing tap
on the CATV coax. The tap is connected to F-type connector on the T504 as
shown in Figure 4.
3Finger tighten the coaxial cable connector and then tighten to 3.4 N.m (30 in-lbs).
4Plug the power jumper back into the power tap to restore AC power out of the
power tap.
5When the T504 receives power, its LEDs flash on and off as it goes through a
power-on self test and then receives its AP and CM configurations from the cable
operator.
NOTE Normally, the T504 receives its AP and CM configurations from the cable
operator. This means that the installer does not need to manually configure either
the AP or the CM part of the T504.
6Wait until the T504 PWR, CM DS, CM US, and ONLINE LEDs stop flashing and
then remain on.
You have verified that the T504 is powered. Continue with Checking the Signal Level

Operating and Troubleshooting the T504
How Radio Frequency Scanning Works
T504 Strand Mount Concurrent AP with Integrated CM Installation Guide, 800-70610-001 Rev A 40
How Radio Frequency Scanning Works
The following steps describe how a DOCSIS-compliant T504 performs radio
frequency scanning:
1Looks at the last “known good channel” (repeat this every 64 channel checks).
2Checks the sixteen last known frequencies (repeat this every 32 channel checks).
3Scans STD standard channels (where the center of the channel is an integer
spaced by 6MHz), first [from 93MHz to 999MHz - 152 channels]).
4Scans the harmonically related carrier (HRC) channels, which moves the
channels 1.25MHz off the standard frequencies so the video carriers are all
related by 6MHz [from 91.75 to 997.5MHz--152 channels].
A complete frequency scan requires approximately 469 channel checks. Since each
channel takes about 0.6 seconds, a full scan is done every 281 seconds (a little
under 5 minutes).
NOTE The scanning of generic DOCSIS channels is required the first time the T504
connects to an MSO. After the initial scan, the T504 is able to retrieve the local
country frequency plan without a complete scan during its normal operation.

What to Do Next
The following are some of the post-installation tasks that Ruckus Wireless recom-
mends. Refer to the Ruckus Wireless Outdoor Access Point User Guide for more
information on configuring and managing the AP.
Changing the Administrative Password
Management access to the Web interface of the AP is controlled through adminis-
trative user name and password. As soon as you complete the AP setup, make
sure you log on to the AP’s Web interface and change the default administrative
user name and password. This will help prevent unauthorized users from logging in
to the AP’s Web interface and changing the AP settings to compromise your
network.
Configuring the Security Settings
Unlike wired networks, anyone with a compatible wireless adapter can receive
wireless data transmissions from your network. To prevent unauthorized users from
entering your wireless network and accessing your computers and files, Ruckus
Wireless strongly recommends enabling and configuring wireless security on the
AP. The AP supports several types of encryption and authentication methods to
help prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network.
Configuring Advanced Settings and Features
The AP has been configured for basic operation. However, the Ruckus Wireless AP
supports many advanced settings and features. Refer to the Ruckus Wireless
Outdoor Access Point User Guide for instructions on how to configure the advanced
setting and feature parameters.

on page 43 instead.
You can use SNMP on either the access point or cable modem to reset the CM to
factory default settings. The procedure is the same, regardless whether you perform
this operation from the AP or CM.
NOTE Before starting this procedure, you must first obtain the related MIBs from
Ruckus Wireless. Contact your authorized Ruckus Wireless sales representative or
Ruckus Wireless Support. Visit http://support.ruckuswireless.com/
contacts for Ruckus Wireless Support contact information (login required).
1Connect the administrative computer to the same network as the T504.
2Start your MIB browser.
3Load the Ruckus Wireless MIBs onto the MIB browser.
4In the MIB browser, specify the IP address of the T504 access point or cable
modem. (You can obtain this information from the DHCP server on the network.)
5Find the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.25053.3.1.4.7.3 (ruckusZFT504ControlLED).
6Set the value to 15 (factoryResetCM).
You have completed resetting the cable modem to factory default settings using
SNMP.
